The 2018 11u Gainesville Braves AAA/Major team will be hosting open tryouts on July 16th at 4:00 til 6:00 and July 23rd from 2:00 til 4:00 at Lanier Point Softball Complex 1579 Lee Waldrip Rd. Gainesville, GA 30501.
Coaching: The 2018 Gainesville Braves will continue to be led by John McGarvey and our paid Head Coach Troy Norton.
Fall 2017: We are very open and encourage our kids to play multiple sports. Therefore we will spend majority of our fall and winter time practicing and focusing on player development with Sunday practices. We will look to play one 1 or 2 fall Sunday only tournaments in October.
Spring 2018: We will play approximately 10-12 tournaments. Our motto is that we will seek to play the best competition that we can and put our boys in situations to test the skills that we teach them on a weekly basis. Our schedule will consist of Triple Crown, Training Legends, Perfect Game and USSSA tournaments.
Characteristics of a Brave: Braves are elite athletes who are willing to play multiple positions. Braves are players and families who are committed to their team and willing to do what it takes to maximize their potential. Braves know that they will have a set position but will also have to compete daily and lay it all on the line to keep their starting spot at their position.
Past Success: Our 2017 Gainesville Braves team is coming off of a very successful season, which included 2 tournament wins and 3 runner up finishes. We also just competed at the USSSA Open World Series in Orange Beach, AL and finished 3rd out of 37 teams. Our overall record was 29-14 on the spring.
